The staff were helpful and gave advice on how to get around. The breakfast was better than many places that we have stayed in. It was within a very short walk of bars and restaurants.

Value for cost outstanding. The room was large, comfortable and clean. 100 meters from some of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. Magnificent neighborhood.

PatrickUnited States of America

The apartment was spacious and very clean. We have stayed in many Santander hotels, but would stay here again due to the spaciousness and prime location. We loved sitting on our balcony with the sea view.

MaryUnited States of America

I was surprised that although it was listed as an apartment, there was nothing in it in terms of the kitchen condiments or a welcome fruit plate.

TaousUnited States of America

I was able to jog to the beach and peninsula for excellent views.
My wife and daughter walked into the central city along the harbor. Very nice

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The stuff and the cleanliness. Only one person, the one who has welcomed us, knew English. The rest of them almost not a single word. I presume that was the reason why they did not ( almost ) speak to us. Many times when we passed by the reception desk they did not even say hallo ( just looked somewhere else ). It made them look very rude.
The cleanliness was overall a problem. The third bed, in the living room, was smelly and dirty.

The location - pure 10 !

Great location near the beach, headland & park, walking distance (20-25mins) to town, easy to get the bus to/fro town. Staff helpful. Santander is a great, central location for visiting the lovely villages in this region. All round... a lovely stay in Santander!
